Genie - I***8217;m considering adding electric winch to my boat trailer .
Do you use one and if so would you recommend it ?
I***8217;ll only go with powerful and durable unit

I get around 5450 trimmed with top up, poles in the air and loaded from fishing. I am running the 17pitch SS REBEL.

Am I correct that you previously ran a larger prop with your 200 HO ?
You recently posted about using a 17".........what max rpm are you getting ?
I'm using an 18" and with curtains up, cruise about 35mph at 4,000 rpm and about 40mph at 4,600 rpm.
I not quite getting full rpms though.......trimmed out about 5,300 so considering dropping down to a 17" Runs a bit higher rpm with top down, light load, so I'm close to perfect.
Comments ?

The 200 ho is a hp monster--does not need much throttle--With the difference in the 2 boats between my 20 and the 21 with the transom set back a bit--I would say yes--a great choice is you need alot of power--I would probabley go with the small 200 instead if you can get a better deal on one. Sorry it took so long for me to answer ya.

Genie - Interested to know how the boat runs with the 200 hp etec:
Heavy for the boat ?
Top speed ?
Do you like the motor and would you recommend it for the V21 ?
I have a 96 V21.
